It was nine in the morning and the two men were staring at the still sleeping teenagers reluctant to wake them up after last night. When the girls had fallen asleep in the car and Dean had woken them up, they yelled a bunch of profanities at the boys. It was a lot nicer when they were sleeping. They didn't want three grumpy teenagers on their trip to Bobby's. Dean nudged Sam forward but Sam just took a step back shaking his head. There was no way he was going to wake them up.
"Do you want to wake them up after what happened last night?" Sam asked Dean; as he said this Samantha rolled over groaning in her sleep. This awoke Beth who also rolled over groaning. They both rolled too far hitting Jess who was shocked awake almost falling off the bed. Samantha sat up rubbing her eyes and yawning. Beth lifted her head looking at Samantha and dropping it back down.
"Hey" Sam said spooking the girls as they realised there was someone else in the room before they remembered where they were. "Time to get up girls." Sam said quietly.
"Can't we just sleep?" Jess mumbled into the bed not bothering to lift her head up.
"Not when you have demons on your tail. We need to get out of here." Sam said worriedly wondering how the girls would react. A mixture of groans and yawns and "But I'm tired" came from the girls. It had been a long day, first being chased by demons, again, and then finding themselves in a motel room with two strange men, where they had slept in one of the most uncomfortable positions they probably could have. They just wanted to rest.
"Can't we at least have showers?" Jess asked running a hand through her hair. The girls had showers as often as they could on the run, often when they had stopped at one of the girls houses to grab some more clothes or other items, they would each take a quick shower; which is what they had been doing at Samanthas when the demons found them and chased them into the forest.
"We don't even have a change of clothes." Samantha complained pulling her top up. When they had been attacked by the demons, they didn't have time to pick up their things they had been grabbing from Samantha's, and so they had left all their belongings sitting there with only the clothes they had on their backs.
"Where the fuck did my glasses go?" Beth asked angrily ignoring everyone else as she frantically searched for them. Sam shook his head and passed them to her off the bed side table.
"They looked uncomfortable to sleep in so I took them off for you" he said smiling kindly at her. She snatched them out of his hand and cleaned the lenses on her singlet before putting them back on.
"Thanks" she mumbled.
"Do you want some breakfast?" Sam asked them. He had no idea how to deal with teenagers but at least he was trying. Dean was just trying to forget they were there.
"We don't eat breakfast unless you have some Up & Go" Samantha stated happily now more awake.
"This is America you idiot." Beth said in a patronising tone, still grumpy from the terrible sleep.
"Okay so no breakfast." Sam said before walking out of the motel room to get Dean and himself some breakfast. He thought it probably wasn't the best idea to leave Dean alone with them, but he was hungry himself.
"What's Up & Go?" Dean asked finally acknowledging the girls.
"It's a breakfast drink with the energy of two weet-bix in one." Jess said quoting the line on the cartons of Up & Go and then laughing at what she had just said.
"Weet-bix?" Dean asked confused. This wasn't something he had heard of before.
"A healthy whole grain wheat thingy." Samantha said failing to explain it well to Dean.
"In England it's called Weetabix" Beth said happily hoping that would help with the explanation.
"Stupid we're in America not England" Jess said mimicking Beth from earlier.
"Oh yeah, Weetabix, we have that" Dean said. Beth smiled smugly at the girls and poked her tongue out at them. "Well I'm sure we could find something like that and then we might be able to find you some clothes till then here" Dean said as he got up unzipping his bag and chucking some of his shirts at the girls. The girls sat there awkwardly for a moment staring at Dean's shirts. They barely knew him and felt a bit awkward about wearing his clothing. They all simultaneously looked out the window and saw the rain pouring down outside. They thought better of their awkwardness and all went to reach for the shirt that looked the warmest.
"I'm having this one!" Jess yelled grabbing the shirt and running away with it before the other girls could get it.
"Bitch" Beth yelled before grabbing a shirt. "Hey this looks like my one at home. I now christen it my Dean shirt" she said putting her arms through the sleeves. Samantha grabbed the remaining shirt and pulled it on. Sam walked through the door and was surprised to see the girls wearing Dean's shirts and Dean smiling.
"What's going on?" Sam asked passing Dean a bacon sandwich and a coffee.
"It's cold outside can't have them freezing, we're gonna go buy them clothes as well" Dean said shrugging taking the food off Sam.
"Okay then" Sam said sitting down and eating his pastry. He found it a little bit weird that Dean was being nice let alone offering to get the girls clothes. "Leave in five?" he asked.
"Yeah we also need to find a drink similar to Up & Go, it's like a protein drink thing" Dean said grabbing his bags and going to open the door to take them out into the Impala.
"Yeah sure" Sam said raising an eyebrow at Dean.
….
The three girls were again piled in the back seat; Sam and Dean in the front. The girls were talking quietly in the back, to quiet for the boys to hear.
"Are there any malls around here?" Sam asked
"I guess, I don't really know." Dean said pulling out of the motel parking lot "It's a big place there's probably a mall and if there isn't there will be a cluster of shops that sell girls' clothing somewhere"
"I remember driving past a mall on the way to get food yesterday, I mean this morning" Samantha said breaking out of the conversation her and the girls were having.
"Oh yeah, something Hills Mall" Beth added.
"Oh yeah I remember that" Sam replied. An awkward silence filled the Impala, no one knowing what to say. They had barely known each other for forty-eighthours, the girls were not very good with new people and the boys just had no idea what to say to the teenages.
"Can you put on some music?" Jess asked breaking the silence.
"Sure" Dean says as he puts in one of his cassettes. Sam looked at Dean rolling his eyes. Why would teenage girls want to listen to classic rock? They probably listened to artists like Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus.
"Dean they won't like that" Sam said going to take the cassette out and put on a radio station more suitable.
"Shut up Sammy." Deans said hitting Sam's hand away as the music started.
Carry on my wayward son starts playing.
"Carry on my wayward son" could be heard coming from all the girls sitting in the back seat. Their singing was rather average but Dean turned to Sam smiling. Someone liked his music.
"You know what these girls are growing on me." Dean said. They continued singing till they reached Southern Hills Mall. Once they reached Southern Hills Mall and Dean had found a parking spot the girls piled out of the car and ran inside trying not to get too wet. When they got in the mall they got some odd looks from other shoppers.
"Why are they looking at us like that?" Beth asked grasping the sleeves of her shirt in her hands. The staring made all the girls uncomfortable, it was like being back at school.
"It's because it doesn't look like we're wearing any shorts from the sides and behind." Jess said pointing at their reflections in a shop window. Deans shirts were quite big on the girls, especially Samantha who was somewhat shorter than the other too, and so his shirts covered them like a dress, hiding the shorts they were wearing.
"And that we have two men, who are rather scary looking, following closely behind us" Samantha added gesturing to Dean and Sam behind them "I feel like a Moroi" she added laughing.
"Does that make Sam and Dean sexy Russian guardians?" Jess asked quietly so Sam and Dean couldn't hear them.
"Sam's got the hair for it" Beth added giggling.
"What was that?" Sam asked hearing his name and raising an eyebrow.
"Oh my God he can raise an eyebrow too!" Samantha cried happily causing the girls to break out in a fit of laughter with the occasional "He is Dimitri" and "God damn it none of us are called Rose" and other comments that completely confused the boys. This was the first time in awhile they could be at least slightly normal teenagers.
"Okay girls pick a shop and get maybe three shirts each, and two pairs of jeans" Dean said fed up with the laughter and wanting to get out of the mall as soon as possible.. The girls looked shocked then nodded not wanting to argue with Dean on this and started looking around the mall for a shop that looked like they could get everything they wanted in it.
"What about that one?" Jess asked pointing to American Eagle.
"Yeah it's got plaid," Samantha said pointing to an mannequin that was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans "and these guys seem to like plaid" she added quietly gesturing to the boys behind them causing the other two girls to giggle quietly.
"To the Eagle of America" Beth stated leading the way to the shop. The girls ran to the shop, the boys slowly following behind. When they got to the shop the girls were already going through the racks looking for clothes.
"The sizes are different!" Samantha cried confused picking up a size twelve shirt that looked far too big for her and putting it back.
"And I've like almost definitely lost weight since I last shopped" Beth said flicking through the shirts and looking at her stomach "this is all far too confusing" she said picking a shirt up off the rack and holding it up to her body before placing it back sighing.
"I know that feel" Jess said from over at the pile of jeans looking just as confused as the other two.
"Hi," A sales assistant greeted them cheerfully whilst looking Dean up and down smiling at him "Need any help?" She asked turning to the girls.
"Yeah uhm, they're from New Zealand and the sizing seems to be different here and they don't know what sizes to get their clothes in" Sam said before the girls had a chance to answer.
"Sure thing" she said practically skipping over to where the girls were looking at a size four shirt holding it up against each other trying to figure out if it would fit them or not "So girls what size were you in New Zealand?" she asked happily.
"No clue" Jess and Beth said at the same time the girl tilted her head slightly in confusion and turned to Samantha hoping for a better answer
"They were borrowing mine which varied from 10-12" Samantha said helpfully. The girl nodded smiling brightly and told them she'd be right back and went to the counter and flicked through some pages looking for a sizing chart, the girls carried on looking through the clothes.
"Okay" the sales assistant said returning to the girls with the sizing chart in her hand "A 10-12 in New Zealand should add up to about a 6-8 here" she said cheerfully showing them the chart "Hope that helps and if you need any help don't be afraid to ask" she said turning to leave "For anything" she added winking at Dean. The girls continued looking at clothes and going back and forth from the changing rooms but they eventually finished each with three shirts, a couple of cheap singlet's and two pairs of jeans each.
"Done?" Dean asked tiredly getting up from the seat outside the dressing room he was sitting on. The three girls nodded slightly and followed Dean to the till.
"It's so sweet you boys are taking your sisters out shopping" The sales assistant said scanning each item through.
"They're not our sisters" Dean replied quickly, the sales assistant looked at him confused.
"They're our cousins" Sam said smiling covering for Dean.
"Awesome, your total comes to $644.80" she said. Dean looked shocked and slightly angry turning to the girls who looked at the floor guiltily. Sam laughed trying to cover his shock but then heard thunder rolling and the rain outside getting heavier and sighed taking out his credit card and paying for the clothes. Once the clothes were bagged and paid for Dean chucked the bags to the girls. They mumbled a thanks each of them feeling bad about the price knowing no one had ever actually paid that much for their clothes before not even their parents.
"It's okay." Sam said smiling to the girls "Shall we go get lunch?" He asked. The girls looked up at him not sure if he was just being nice so as not to upset them or if he genuinely didn't mind that the clothes cost so much.
"You can go find a toilet or something to go get changed in" Dean said. The girls were reluctant to go on their own in such a busy place but another roll of thunder and a quick look at their shorts they decided it was for the best and hurried off to the toilets to change The boys following close behind and waiting outside for them with the bags of clothes they didn't want.
The girls came out of the toilets in their new jeans but still in Dean shirt's which caused Dean to give them a questioning look.
"They're warm" Jess said defending herself and the other two.
"And comfy" Samantha added helpfully.
"And I personally prefer guys shirts" Beth concluded. Dean shook his head slightly and the led the way to where all the food stores were.
"You're never gonna get them back" Sam said hitting Dean on the shoulder
"I better get my green shirt back" Dean said turning to glare at Beth who was walking in a line with the other girls causing all of the other shoppers to squeeze past them but they didn't seem to care as they were too busy laughing at something Beth said.
"Dean it's just a shirt, you'll get it back considering we're gonna have to share motel rooms with them and a car" Sam said trailing off and looking at the girls who were now skipping arm in arm.
"It's gonna be a long apocalypse" Dean muttered already sounding exhausted after spending just a day with the girls "Do we really have to share a room with them?" he asked sounding like a child who couldn't have his own way.
"Well we can't put them in their own room in case demons come for them" Sam answered ignoring Deans childish whine "We won't be able to protect them if they're in another room" he added.
"Why are demons even after three teenage girls?" Dean asked perplexed.
"They're a seal. That's what Cas said anyway" Sam answered dumbfounded.
"Yeah but the seals are usually something really important, I don't get what's important about three teenage girls from New Zealand" Dean said. "Yes I know one of them is English" He added quickly just as Sam opened his mouth to correct Dean. "Which means there's even less of a connection. We need to take them to Bobby's and get Cas here to explain more."
"We could always ask Ruby" Sam suggested.
"No" Dean said sternly "We are not bringing that Demon bitch into the mix, I've got enough to worry about"
"Speaking of what to worry about, where are the girls?" Sam asked panicked looking urgently around the mall.
"Son of a bitch!" Dean cursed. "You go that way, I'll go that way" he said walking off to find the girls, Sam going in the opposite direction. The boys searched everywhere, but the girls were nowhere to be found. They circled back to find the other empty handed "What the hell man?" Dean asked
"I don't know" Sam answered whipping his head around trying to find the girls in the crowd of people.
"Where the hell are they?" Dean asked angrily as he turned around to face the store besides them. "Sam." he said as he noticed the three girls in the store jumping up and down over some piece of clothing. Sam shared a look with Dean and the two ran to where the girls were "Hot topic, really, guys"
"Dean, it is a TARDIS jersey with the galaxy in the background! Galaxy!" Jess said gesturing to the item of clothing.
"Vampire academy Dean, Vampire academy" Samantha said pulling the t shirt of the rack that had 'weird doesn't even begin to cover it' written on it gold metallic writing.
"Dean, My Chemical Romance. My. Chemical. Romance" Beth said pointing to a top that said 'I'm Not Okay' in big blood splattered letters.
"No" Dean said "We have spent enough on you today" he said starting to leave the shop.
"But Dean, it's my birthday tomorrow" Beth whined giving him puppy dog eyes.
"I don't give a damn," he said smiling "We're getting lunch then we're driving to Bobby's to try and get some God Damn answers"
"But Dean" Samantha wined
"No means no. Now move" Dean yelled gesturing towards the door. The girls placed their items back on the rack and shuffled out of the shop shoulders hunched over. "And don't you dare leave my sight again" Dean yelled at the girls gaining looks from passers-by and a smile from Sam.
"Stop being such a mother, Dean" Jess said in a child's voice causing the other two girls to visibly flinch.
"I am not your mother" He retorted angrily not noticing the girls reaction, Sam on the other hand did and was rather confused.
"She never said you were, she said stop acting like one" Beth said recovering from her earlier shock smiling innocently at Dean.
"Where do you wanna go for lunch?" Sam asked before Dean could get any angrier.
"Subway!" Samantha yelled happily and pulled the other girls towards it. Sam and Dean followed quickly behind them as the girls ran towards the shop.
...
Five sandwiches and a long 2 hour drive to Bobby's later. Dean was relieved to be out of the car that smelt of subway. The girls got out of the car still laughing over a joke they couldn't quite remember the punch line to and Sam was already walking to Bobby's door.
"How're we going to explain this Bobby?" Dean asked stopping Sam and gesturing to the girls who were still standing round the car laughing.
"Tell him the truth. Castiel dumped these girls on us and all he said was that they're a seal and then he left" Sam said knocking on the front door and taking a step back
"Sam, Dean what are you doing here?" Bobby asked shocked opening the door
"Good to see you too Bobby" Dean joked
"We've got a problem" Sam said gesturing to the girls
"Why have you got three kids with you?" Bobby asked shocked looking at the girls then questioningly back at the boys.
"Castiel brought them to us yesterday, apparently they're a seal" Dean explained shrugging his shoulder as if it were no big deal.
"Seals? As in one of the sixty-six that need to be broken?" Bobby asked looking at the girls in confusion. How could a bunch of kids be seals? That doesn't make any sense. This earned a nod from Sam.
"Yeah, can we come in?" Sam asked.
"Girls!" Dean called gruffly to the girls as he followed Sam and Bobby inside. The girls ran after him not wanting to be outside alone. They followed Dean into what looked like an office and stood awkwardly in the doorway
"Well sit down" Bobby said pointing to the only couch in the room. The girls looked at Dean and Sam. Dean gestured towards the couch half-heartedly and Sam smiled at them. They quickly hurried to the sofa and sat down looking around the room.
"Girls, this is Bobby, he's a good friend of ours so don't look so scared" Dean said leaning against the wall opposite them. They nodded and stared at their feet
"Don't speak much do they?" Bobby asked
"What do you know about seals, Bobby?" Sam asked ignoring Bobby's comment "how can three teenage girls be a seal?"
"Well I know about as much as you two." Bobby replied snarkily "What about Cas? What'd he say?" He asked.
"That they're seals, they need protecting and we're the only ones he trusts" Dean answered
"Well have you tried contacting him?" Bobby asked.
"Oh yeah let me just get my angel phone out" Dean said sarcastically causing a quiet laugh to come from the girls.
"Someone finally thinks you're funny, Dean" Sam joked causing the girls to laugh louder. Sam and Dean shared a look of regret at making the girls laugh because now they weren't going to stop. Sam sighed and rolled his eyes giving the girls a look that said be quiet and Dean ran his hand over his face.
"Well if they are seals, why?" Dean asked making a questioning gesture with his hands.
"They are the daughters of the fallen" Castiel said appearing from nowhere causing the girls to scream and fall of the couch, the boys to jump up ready to fight and Bobby to pull a gun out his desk draw pointing it at Castiel.
